As you know, the STRANSKI PRINT SHOP will soon be closing it's doors (you have until Midnight on Monday to get your order in!) but I still have just enough time to show you a few more of the prints before they leave the studio! Here's one of the designs I've been packaging up this morning...

Signing and sending these bad boys, (among others) today. Just over a week left now to get your STRANSKI PRINTS! And don't forget all prints come with FREE WORLDWIDE DELIVERY - packages I'm sending this morning are going to Australia, America, Austria and New Zealand :)

Just to say that you can now buy tickets to our big live show which closes out the Lakes International Comic Art Festival on SUNDAY 16th OCTOBER. We'll be manning a table after the show with our entire back catalogue available - not something you get at the average book festival!

Hey folks, just wanted to let you know that although the Stranski Print Shop was saying that many of the prints were sold out last week, this is not the case - all 10 designs will be stocked and available until the shop closes on October 3rd (but after that they really are GONE!).
Here's some snaps of one of the A2 monsters I sent out this morning...!

Feeling a little uninspired? Need a small jolt of creativity to fire up your imagination? I know I do! Thankfully the answer is at hand. Click the image below to open the Freaky & Fearless Activity Sheet. If you enjoy storytelling OR drawing OR both (the correct answer) then this is just what you need to jump start your grey matter!

Print it, complete it and HAVE FUN! Oh, and please feel free to post your creations on twitter (@etheringtonbros) or email them in (theetheringtonbrothers@hotmail.co.uk)!

Folks love to try before they buy and when it comes to comics and illustrated novels we couldn't agree more which is why every single one of our books is available to sample at our comic boutique. And today's featured treat is a cracker. Here's a pre-preview preview. Er, yep. That works.

Intrigued? Good. You SHOULD be.

READ THE FULL EXCERPT HERE then rush into town to grab a copy today for yourself, your friends, your children, your nephews and nieces, your grandchildren or your parents (nice). Or, for true convenience you can simply order online HERE!

So, parents, what do you say to winning a set of Freaky & Fearless books and a year's subscription to The Beano for your children/yourself? Hmm? What do you say?

Correct answer, big guy! Well, the wonderful folks over at Mumsnet.com (one of the UK's most popular parenting sites) have put together a simply awesome competition that gives you the chance to do just that.

Entering could not be simpler. All you have to do is head over HERE and tell Mumsnet what your child's favourite comic is by posting on the discussion thread below the article.

Having a great start to my morning signing up these (and other) prints ready for sending! Huge thanks to everyone who's picked up a Stranski print or two for themselves since the shop opened - there are ten designs available to buy HERE until Oct 3rd!

"Simon Moss and Whippet Willow are heading off to the woods for an Explorers' Camp weekend. They'd rather be at home reading comics, but it should take their minds off the super-weird events of two weeks ago. They haven't seen Lucy Shufflebottom since their destruction of the Snotticus monster, and Mossy's superpower hasn't worked since then either, so maybe it's time to move on. Lake Shore must be monster-free by now! Anyway, with caveman-like Ted Recks (AKA "T-Rex") as camp leader, the boys will be more than safe this weekend ... right?

Wrong.

Luckily for Simon and Whippet genuine help is closer than they think, and their combined talent for Telling and Drawing stories is about to become very handy indeed.

With out-of-this-world artwork by Jan Bielecki, FREAKY & FEARLESS is a fun-filled series like no other!"
Oooooooooh ... sounds good! Now, let's take a look at some of that artwork, shall we?

THAT is the good stuff!

If you're aged between 7 and 70 and are a fan of action, adventure, oodles of comedy and bucketful's of spooky stuff, then this is the book series for YOU!

Younger readers be warned: this book contains a lot of awesomeness. Maybe ... maybe too much.

GRAB YOUR COPY TODAY! The Freaky & Fearless books are available from all good book shops (if they don't have it in stock ask them to order it ... then ask them WHY it's not in stock!!!) OR you can order it online HERE!

288 pages of beautifully illustrated mayhem and madness (beautifully illustrated by the man-marvel known as Jan Bielecki) await your eyes. If you enjoyed the first book, this one's going to blow your mind. And that's an Etherington Promise*.
If you can't wait for the shops, you can order your copy online NOW ... right HERE!

* Actual blown minds NOT guaranteed ... after all, if we actually blew your mind, how would you be able to read Book 3???
